Fast.

Injured, I think.

Couldn't see him doing too well in this league despite being a class player.

Spurs are the new Newcastle.

There isnt one **** player they arent linked with.

I heard a black man talking in a hotel and got excited.

I turned the corner and it turned out it was Tim Westwood.

I'd take Bent over Defoe in a blink of an eye.

Which sounds gay.

As I said a while ago. Charlton will need to fund an emergency rebuilding this month. Not only do they need to sell Bent but QUICKLY.

The highest bidder wins. Lets flex some muscle for a change.

Just expect a mixture of promising up and coming players, experienced players and a couple of good loan signings.

Well, thats my feeling anyway.

Patience. Signings are on their way and they'll be good for Villa.

MON and Randy havent turned into eejits overnight.

It is my opinion that Mr Lerner was so disgusted with how Newcastle conducted themselves that he will not deal with them again. Also, I think they still owe us money for Solano.

I still expect to see four, possibly five new signings and one or two loans.

If it doesnt happen, I wont exactly be upset though. I know a couple of the names we are looking at but that doesnt mean we'll get them.

I would be happy with Nugent too. I dont think he'd be the only striker we'd be after either.

I did say I thought we'd be after Curtis Davies......

I have a hunch we'll get Curtis Davies. Dont know why.

I think your hunch is wrong im afraid as i understand it

How so?

I have a hunch we'll get Curtis Davies. Dont know why.

Reo Coker is alright, not great. We could do better and Osbourne will be a better player when he's older anyway.

Reo Coker is 22, wasn't he captain of wimbledon at osbournes age? he has also been west ham capatain, osbourne can barely pass a ball straight.

Reo Coker would be a great addition to the team but i'd imagine he'll be going to arsenal.

I'm not interested in who did what and at what age. I am convinced that Osbourne will be a better player so we'll see.

Hardly pass a ball straight? A little harsh I think.

I was baying for us to sign Ashton when he was at Crewe.

I dont think West Ham will be competing with the big boys in January and Curbishley is nowhere near the calibre of MON. Players will know that too.

I agree that unless WHAM see certain players as a negative influence, they wont be selling any short of ridiculous offers. I cant see them selling Ashton to be honest. Not yet.

Anyway, I'd only want Ashton from their team. Reo Coker is alright, not great. We could do better and Osbourne will be a better player when he's older anyway.

Jez, why do you spend most of your time trying to convince everybody who we arent going to sign?

You really arent the reality police mate, seriously. Lighten up.

If buying Milner helps Newcastle buy Bent I'd rather not. In fact I'd rather not deal with those jumped up gobshites at all.

If Newcastle badly need a striker, how badly do they need some defenders? They wont be competing with us in the Jan window I reckon. Who's going to choose Ratboy over MON?

Why would Charlton sell Bent?

They could get £10 million for him and rubberstamp their relegation.

They could keep him, give themselves a huge chance of survival and still sell him for about £10 million if they get relegated.

Because they will be relegated as things stand even with Bent. The money from Bents sale could buy a few players who will make them a better team. A team that may survive.

If they are relegated it will cost them £50m+. £10m is money they can use NOW to avoid the worst. Remember its particularly harsh for any team thats relegated this season. If you offered Charlton a choice to either sell their best player or go down, its not really a choice at all is it?

He was there to see a player or players, in my opinion.

MON was at the Charlton v Blackburn game last night.

Bent? Neil? Young? Neil Young?

Cant we get one up on the **** scousers for even a year? We havent even had a chance to spend anything yet .

God, I hate Liverpool.

In my opinion, who we get depends more on who is available rather than our budget. Obviously our funds are not limitless but I think we'll have more clout than most think.

Its not that players arent available in January, you just have to make it worth the selling clubs while, whilst getting in early enough to allow them to get replacements. Or better still, offer them the replacements yourself.

MON will know who he wants to go after and so will Randy. I'm confident MON will be backed with what he needs. There will also be loan deals to consider.

No, this isnt me waffling. Its not cast iron either but I hear things from time to time. Voices.....in my head.

A little bird tells me we're looking at Ashley Young. Havent made a bid or anything but perhaps an enquiry. Perhaps.

Players demanding to be based in London is a myth dreamed up by people from London and the (London based) media.

Its not like Birmingham is a little town in the hills is it?

Players are usually millionaires and like leafy subrbs close enough to the job. Birmingham is ideal for this.
